Way was part of the Yeovil side that beat Stevenage 2-0 at Villa Park 16 years ago, and he is hoping to draw on that success to inspire the club to further honours.

He said: “That experience stays with you for the rest of your life and I don’t know how many years ago that was now, but we’re still talking about it now and you’re still seeing it in the programme, you’re seeing it in DVDs and videos.

“I look at Gary Johnson being the manager back then and he had the same belief and perhaps others didn’t, but between himself and I have to say the chairman, they set us on a journey that is going to be talked about for the rest of our lives.

“When you’ve got an opportunity to create that legacy, you don’t want to let it go, and I’ve experienced it, I know what it’s like.

“I’ve looked at a manager who’s a legend at this football club, who had that same thought process when others didn’t and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve by that.”

Yeovil are going to have to overcome a heavily fancied Shrewsbury side to reach next month’s final.

The Glovers will be hoping to draw upon their fine record against League One sides this season, having won five matches out of five when they have faced third tier opponents in the FA Cup and Checkatrade Trophy.

Way added: “It’s a great opportunity to get to Wembley. We know how difficult it is going to be, we know how difficult the Manchester United game was, we know how difficult Southend, Bradford were, so we’ve played in some real good cup competitions.

“We’re away from home, and people are going to ask that question that the away form has not been great, but we’ll make sure that we go there and every single player will know that the opportunity and those types of opportunity don't come around too often.”
